Oh yeah,  and there I was thinking my Winamp was up-to-date.  Thanks.

Can you save this playlist in M3U format?  If nothing else, maybe you could use winamp to make them and play them back on the iHP like usual.

This sounds like a cool idea but I'm having difficulty believing Rob Zombie is accoustically similar to Weezer. Maybe a little bit on the base end...

It's sketchy until it completely catalogues your library.  After that it still has it's misses, but more or less is really good.

Also, I have been saving the playlists and just playing htem on my iRiver.  I just think it would be neat to be able to do it on the fly on the MP3 player.

Since when was reverse engineering an electronic file to extract info from it illegal?

Oh, wait, do you live in the USA?

I am continually dismayed at how messed up the copyright/patent/IP situation is becoming worldwide. It's been approached badly and the snowball is too large to stop now. Intellectually, I find the burden of it really hard to bear sometimes, and it makes me cry inside.   :'(

Perhaps I just need to harden up and start suing people.
